i installed linux today but whenever i start the x windows system it gives me a blank screen. I have double checked my monitor settings. But it still doest work. I have a compaq persario 6000 with a nvidia Geforce2 intergrated on the mother board could someone please help me. If you have encountered the same problem or have a solution please contact me at Muya@optonline.net

I've been having a similar problem lately as well, but it only exisits with the Xfree86 provided "nv" driver for the nvidia chipset. When I hit 'startx', i see a few red lines accross the screen, and my monitor makes a high-pitched sound like something was out of range with the refresh rate. I have not been able to fix it, however, it works fine with the official hardware accelerated drivers from NVidia's website.
